ultralytics.utils.instance.Bboxes

Bboxes(bboxes, format='xyxy')

A class for handling bounding boxes.

The class supports various bounding box formats like 'xyxy', 'xywh', and 'ltwh'. Bounding box data should be provided in numpy arrays.

Attributes:

Name Type Description
bboxes ndarray

The bounding boxes stored in a 2D numpy array.

format str

The format of the bounding boxes ('xyxy', 'xywh', or 'ltwh').

Note

This class does not handle normalization or denormalization of bounding boxes.

def __init__(self, bboxes, format="xyxy") -> None:
    """Initializes the Bboxes class with bounding box data in a specified format."""
    assert format in _formats, f"Invalid bounding box format: {format}, format must be one of {_formats}"
    bboxes = bboxes[None, :] if bboxes.ndim == 1 else bboxes
    assert bboxes.ndim == 2
    assert bboxes.shape[1] == 4
    self.bboxes = bboxes
    self.format = format

__getitem__

__getitem__(index) -> Bboxes

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
index int, slice, or np.ndarray

The index, slice, or boolean array to select the desired bounding boxes.

required

Returns:

Name Type Description
Bboxes Bboxes

A new Bboxes object containing the selected bounding boxes.

Raises:

Type Description
AssertionError

If the indexed bounding boxes do not form a 2-dimensional matrix.

Note

When using boolean indexing, make sure to provide a boolean array with the same length as the number of bounding boxes.
